Every once in awhile just about everyone hits a wall conserving what to write about. It happens to me too. I'm dong fine now, but wanted to get some ideas for a new post I'm preparing to write. The post will be about blogging, or post ideas. I'm looking for your input. So what different types of post ideas can you think of? I will add some of your ideas to my new post. So please go ahead and brain storm! ;)

One of the first blogs I read was Tara's Eclectic Spaghetti. She has a thing where she picks a theme for just about every day of the month, and challenges people to write blog posts about it. It is a good source for ideas sometimes.

Most people that get stuck are posting about what they are doing and thinking. Reach out to the OTHER areas.

1. write a short story2. to a news pice with your own personal spin3. meme 4. Ask someone to send you questions5. Do a photo themed post. You can find 10 billion images on the net.6. write on a topic you know a LOT about7. Re-live an old memory from the past8. do a humor piece ... things you find funny from the week9. Do a review of a movie, show, or blog10. Just start typing. Many times I have no idea what will come out, but just start typing!!

Yes this was a gold mine of ideas! Not sure what I can add except that I like what one blogger I go to does. He asks the same interesting question to individuals with a wide variety of thought streams. They send him their answers and he formats them into a single post. I like that once in awhile. As well, You rarely write about your living experiences...I find that therapeutic! In any case, writers block rarely lasts too long.

I often hit that brick wall. sometimes I think just taking a walk and looking out the windows are a good source of idea. Plus reading the news and giving your two cents worth over a story is always good :)
